Learning Styles

Learning styles are different for everyone. Your learning style may be auditory, mathematical/logical, tactical, or so on, but everyone has their own learning techniques. Someone could even be a mix between tactical, auditory, and visual.

My main learning style is tactical learning. I learn by touching and doing. I work with my hands, and pick up motions easily. I have a hard time sitting still. Usually, I have to move my foot around to stay focused. Whenever I’m bored or stressed, I either solve jigsaw puzzles on the floor/table/online, or untangle something.

Even so, I get through school work easily as long as there is nothing distracting around
